Hey where is everybody,

Hey lynz im ok just plodding along, work wose just trying to stick it out, but will see how long i last doubt i will be coming back although i hate not doing anything, As for midwife i saw doctor at 22 weeks and midwife at 28 due to my blood type but i think it depends on what your surgery says.

[bklove]

hey hey its the weekend! and i'm 26 weeks today, and tummy is a little bigger. I may try to take pics this weekend and actually post them!

sj-no fun, no natural remedies or anything to help you out?

sammy: my stretchies are dark, but so far its in select areas and I haven't gotten more. Cocoa butter didn't do much either. I heard good things about bio oil, but I guess not based on your experience.

Magik- It is harder to clean at this stage. Hope the hubby really helps.

Hows everyones appetite? I had some throw up action this week which really threw me off and now I can only handle small meals at a time...I think its more cause my tummy is running out of stretching room though.

 

[Magik204]

Oh bless ya Amanda, I've been sick to this week not good but never mind, I think Im a lucky onshore stretch marks as yet only on my boobs which I had before I became pregnate, Amanda prob be easier and cheaper for u to find over there as expensive over here but Im using burts bees body lotion must be working, and I used a cheap version of bio oil very early on x x x

26 Weeks Pregnant

The expectant mother will have a noticeable bulge of the tummy and she may be experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions
Braxton Hicks contractions on a regular basis. These contractions are a normal occurrence at this stage and they resemble menstrual cramps
menstrual cramps. Generally, Braxton Hicks contractions are painless and they prepare the body for upcoming delivery and labor pains. The expectant mother might be distressed due to weight gain, slight rib pains, heartburns, cramps and muscle stretches. If you feel that the pain or discomfort is persistent or unusual, then consult the doctor immediately.



The expectant mother must keep a track of baby’s development by going for regular antenatal medical check ups. At this stage you might be due for anti tetanus and other vaccines, so consult the doctor regarding the same. Now is the time, when the mom to be can start planning baby’s nursery and baby care. This is the stage when the expectant mother must take adequate rest. Light exercises and yoga help in calming agitated nerves and aid relaxation. Indulging in light workouts will help the woman to alleviate certain pregnancy related problems. It will also help the pregnant woman in easy handling of labor during childbirth. The mother to be must take good care of herself for ensuring good development of the baby.


Baby’s Development



The baby’s development is going on at a steady rate during the 26 weeks pregnant stage. The baby’s approximate length is about 9 to 10 inches. This is the crown to rump length and it does not include the measurements of the legs. The baby will approximately weigh around 2 pounds at the 26 weeks pregnant stage. The baby’s eyelids were shut for the past month. During the 26th week of pregnancy, baby will start opening and blinking his eyes. The development of baby’s eyes is nearly completed by now. The eye color of all babies in mother’s womb is blue and will change later in life. Some babies are born with a darker shade of blue and others are born with a lighter blue shade. The baby will now start putting on fat layers till the time of birth. Presently the baby is still lean.



The baby during 26 weeks pregnant stage resembles a normal baby. The main fetal developments that take place now are that the baby develops good sense of touch and begins responding to touch. The baby’s heart has started pumping blood. The lungs start developing blood vessels. The baby starts making breathing movements. Simultaneously, you can see that the baby replaces the amniotic fluid
amniotic fluid per hour. Baby’s circulation system becomes totally functional. The umbilical cord grows and thickens as blood is strongly flowing through the body for nurturing the baby. The size of the placenta becomes equivalent to baby’s size. Finger nails
Finger nails and toe nails are growing steadily. The baby has short eyelids and eyebrows at this stage. If the baby is a boy, then the testicles will move down into the scrotum now.


hope everyone has a lovely weekend xxxx

Hello again. I haven't been on in a while, had a hospital stay last week. My liver enzymes are rising steadily, and my doctor can't figure out the reason. They kept me for two nights to do lab work, and they ended up taking 23 vials of blood in a 12 hour period. AH! The baby is good, though, he is just under 2 lbs and they told me he is measuring one day ahead, yay! I hope things are okay for you ladies. I see a few of us are having some medical issues! I am feeling pretty good though, overall. I will be going to a GI specialist a few hours away from my home in the next week or so. Are some of us still working? I have 2 weeks left before summer break (I teach high school) and cannot wait!!

Magik- I love the 2 tickers, its a great comparison...look at our little eggplant I haven't tried burts bees but I know its expensive here to. I hope the stretchies just go away after birth. They look like I clawed myself in various spots

Babyd- Cute bump, especially with the bow belt, awww! What symptoms are you experiencing? I don't have any braxton hicks, definitly some stretching and my tummy I think is running out of space. I can't eat as much as I use to, I think there just isnt' room for it, so I do have to try to eat more smaller meals.

Kaity- I'm glad you are doing well under the circumstances. to you and I hope they figure out whats going on. are you worried at all?

Add I just uploaded some pics just for you ladies, so here is one for you guys and i'm going to put another one in my journal. Happy bumps to you all!

hey ladies,

sorry i haven't been on here for a little while i've just been sooooo tired and suffering with bad toothache so how is everyone and the growing bumps???


i had my last scan last week and his growth is how he should be and he's was wriggling around like mad. the woman was a total bitch tho i asked for some pictures which she huffed about then she gave them to me and you can't even tell whats what i'm really upset because you'd think she would of given me 1 decent picture. and on the up side my placenta has moved up he weighed 1lb 11oz.

can't believe we're on our way into third trimester ladies it seems only yesterday we had our bfps and now were near to giving birth omg it's so scary!!


so has anyone had any emotional break downs over silly things ???
